Chapter 12 – Run

Chi Tang jumped with a good result, ranking second among a dozen people.

She stood up from the sandpit and walked to the starting point without saying a word. The second time she took off her jacket and threw it on the ground, starting again, jumping, and landing.

“Not bad!” The scoring teacher shouted.

The scoring teacher recorded the score and asked: “The best score so far. There is another chance, do you want to jump again?”

Chi Tang patted the sand off her shoes, and picked up her jacket, “No more.”

Hei Pi waved to her: “Hey, there are three opportunities. why don’t you keep jumping? What if someone overtakes you next!?”

Chi Tang: “I can only jump this far.”

Someone from the stand in the distance shouted: “The runners from Class 1 and 2 gather!”

Chi Tang felt a little dizzy because of the excitement. She didn’t like too many people and this kind of boiling emotions, just as she didn’t like continuous rain.

There was a box of mineral water prepared in the class. Those who participated in the projects could take it and drink it. The deputy monitor sat and watched, wrote the radio manuscript, and added points to the manuscript. It would be read by the classmates in the broadcasting room on the podium.

Chi Tang didn’t want to get it. When she went through the crowd to buy ice water, she heard the broadcast sound echoing throughout the whole field: “Tian Xue from the first and second class of high school…”

A sudden burst of screaming and cheering overshadowed the content of the broadcast. It was a one-hundred-meter sprint race. Not only those contestants who competed in speed, but also the students who acted as cheerleaders on both sides had a louder voice.

Chi Tang bought ice water and didn’t go back to the field immediately. She sat quietly on the stone steps in the small forest for a while. One couldn’t go back to the classroom. Teachers were patrolling, the students were not allowed to stay in the classroom or the dormitory.

Chi Tang only stood up when she heard the three-kilometer race from a distance.

Back to the field, the three-kilometer race had already started, and she heard the Hei Pi yelling You Yu’s name. Only You Yu participated in the 3,000-meter long-distance race in their class. It took several laps.

In the beginning, You Yu fell behind, and her classmates called her name.

“You Yu run faster, You Yu faster!”

A girl in Class 3 ran very fast at the very beginning and even urged other people to speed up. She ran out of sprint momentum at the very beginning. Only You Yu and the other girl ran at a constant speed and fell to the end.

This was the last project of the afternoon. Many classmates in Class 2 were watching, but few people shouted cheering for You Yu, and some were dissatisfied with her running too slowly.

“How can I catch up too much behind now!” Several girls anxiously.

Although some people understood that they couldn’t run too fast at the beginning, they couldn’t help but rush when they saw other players. Chi Tang saw You Yu lower her head and looked at her feet. she didn’t run fast or slow, as if she hadn’t heard the students on the side of the track.

Chi Tang threw the bottle in her hand in the trash can and ran into the inner ring of the track. You Yu’s runway was in the innermost ring. She was standing on the red runway.

Chi Tang was next to her, stepping on the green plastic lawn.

The sun was very big, Qiuhuo was angry, and it was hot enough in the sun, let alone running, Chi Tang ran a circle with her, feeling a sticky sweat on her body, which was very uncomfortable.

“You Yu, do you want water?” Hei Pi also quickly asked when he saw other classes sending water to the players who were halfway through.

Chi Tang ran past him, took the water in his hand, unscrewed it, and handed it to You Yu.

On the last lap, You Yu and the other girl began to accelerate at the same time. Those who ran fast before now obviously lacked the stamina to run, and their feet fell heavily behind them. Another staggered and fell to the ground with a big bruise on her knee, and was hurriedly helped up.

Chi Tang stopped and walked directly across the inner ring to the end, waiting with the others. You Yu stopped looking down at her shoes but looked up at the endpoint. She was serious about everything. Chi Tang felt that in her world, there would be no other people, no opponents, and no onlookers.

The surroundings were very lively.

The fierce and tense atmosphere caught everyone, even some people in Class 2 who didn’t like You Yu could not help but yell You Yu’s name at that time.

You Yu and the other girl from Class 5 reached the finish line almost at the same time. Class 5 cheered immediately: “First!”

The second class refused to accept, “Why are you first? They arrived almost at the same time, maybe we are the first!”

Hei Pi ran to ask the three teachers who counted, and the others followed. You Yu dashed across the finish line, panting, still walking forward. She looked up and saw Chi Tang and smiled at her. Braided black hair was placed on her shoulders, her hair slightly scattered, and her eyes clear and bright.

“Chi Tang, give You Yu a helping hand!” Hei Pi shouted.

Chi Tang stepped forward, supported You Yu, and helped her walk slowly for a while before stopping. At that time, the class 2 students over there burst out a burst of excitement: “We are the first!”

“Extra points! The first extra points! Hahahahaha!”

Chi Tang: “You took first place.”

You Yu’s breath has calmed down, “Hmm.”

Full of a calmness that always takes the first place.

On the evening of the sports meeting, the students did not go to study at night, the students who had fully vented their excess energy finally felt tired. They swarmed into the cafeteria to eat, and then went back to the bedroom to take a bath and change clothes.

Chi Tang delayed for a while, and finally returned to the dormitory after eating. The others had finished washing. You Yu was washing. She was the last one.

There was a chill in the used bathroom, there was no heat, the sun had set, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Chi Tang turned the faucet from cold water back to hot water.

She suddenly wondered whether she was waiting until winter, and the rest was still cold water?

On Friday, Chi Tang sat at the back of the stands, listening to the shouts one after another in front of her, and spent the day playing with her mobile phone. You Yu held a book near her and did a test paper. Her speed was very fast. Chi Tang played a few games and looked up at her, and found that she had solved a test paper.

Chi Tang: “…”

Someone is studying hard by the side, really can’t even play the game.

Chi Tang: “The sea of ​​learning is boundless, but turning back is the shore.”

She said such a sentence without beginning and end, You Yu looked up from the pile of test papers, thought for a moment, and said, “Let go of the game and become a god.”

Chi Tang suspected that You Yu might want to save her. The athletes’ march sounded again, and the two-day sports meeting ended.
